I just read this:

"The case does involve two adults who, with full and mutual consent from each other, engaged in sexual practices common to a homosexual lifestyle….[the defendants] are entitled to respect for their private lives. The State cannot demean their existence or control their destiny by making their private sexual conduct a crime."
From the majority opinion written by justice Kennedy.

In the minority opinion Scalia, was worried about the implication that this ruling would have on laws against masturbation. [no I am not kidding]
